A classic dessert, good for when you want something that's basically already prepared, always a crowd pleaser, plus an excuse to use a big blowtorch!
Preheat the oven to 170C. Put vanilla beans and seeds in a saucepan with the milk and cream and bring to the boil, then set aside. Beat the egg yolks and sugar until thick, then beat into the milk mixture. Cover and set aside for 1 hour (when in a hurry skip this step). Strain the mixture into 4 ramekins and cook in a bain-marie (baking dish with hot water in it) in the oven for 25 -30 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to cool, then cover and chill (when in a hurry allow to cool for only a 15 minutes then put them on a cutting board and in the fridge so that the heat from them doesn't crack the glass shelves). Just before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of antillaise sugar on each creme and use a kitchen blow torch (grill if you don't have a blow torch, but not as good) until the sugar begins to caramelise. Serve immediately.
